No one can 
Ignore it already! 
Falling, failing, flailing at one 
Suggestion of belonging 
Keep the world spinning round and round and 
Back and forth as the pendulum of your 
Heart swings 
Bruising the walls of your soul, knowing we are ever so close 
To sinking       
But forever is not 
So scary 
When it has been 
Day in day out 
A lone    shell
of human I have become. 
And it is just another year, 
it is just Another. Deeply. Enraged. Fight. For
Anyone else? 
Answer me please. 
Alone is never lonely 
Or never was 
Not until I was shadowed with the curse of feeling 
An alternate universe 
Wrapped in my hands, 
Grazing affection, smiling promises 
A box of chocolates 
All to be devoured, 
Destroyed 
As my feelings for you.

Written in response to theme, “Valentine”.
